I wasn't thinking it would be something people would pay for - just a cool mini-event bonus that would give people a reason to login for

Hoof, who's your CFO? lmao... 

 

I like the thought... be careful with being overly generous ,oP 

 

Seriously, I wouldn't hardcore fight "whatever" being free, but I'm concerned about starting a something-for-nothing snowball. What about a "token payment" of 1 FSP or 150k gold? 

 

I think the "flash sale" idea was/is great. I'm "guessing" that it peaks activity a bit. More in a community spirit. 

 

"Flash event" as an idea, I'd be for. 

 

Log ins per day being increased... I'm not too sure how much that will help HCS. If that will help HCS income via the earn points section with advertisers or similar, then sounds worthwhile. 

 

Otherwise it's just a check-in similar to allegiance tokens... which, btw, I'd like to see the clock come back for ,oP

 

You're the boss Hoof.

Aye I just quite like the idea of random events and possibly daily quests

Daily quests ? - how about that 2 yr old ( I think ) epic quest being finished (and maybe more added) ?

maybe weekly quests? Huge series of them that can change every so often?

After all the predictable global and double xp events, to hear this is refreshing. Let's see what you've got for us

They wouldn't be 'quests' in the normal sense, but more along the lines of johnagod's suggestion - so for example "Slay 100 Undead creatures", "Defeat 5 Elites" etc.

We could also have totally random double composing xp events with maybe a trigger based on total kills achieved in a frag global ....? With 2 to 4 hour durations ...

This is exactly the way things should go. Not just the freebies (be it random or when achieving something), but also that there are a lot of things happening. That will motivate more players to login and play.

I really like the idea of random mini-events, maybe keep 1 kind of mini-event fixed for the same day of the week, and the rest be random.

Maybe the fixed mini-event could be 'Kill X Champions/Elites and receive a 24hrs Token that will give you +5 Stamina Gain per hour'.

And for random mini-events, some ideas:
- +5% XP Gain per hour.
- +50% RP for all Conflicts started in the 24 hrs of the event.
- 5% chance of use 0 stamina while moving.
- 25% chance of receiving double fragments while fraging gear.
- Double Composing XP.
- Offers like HCS is doing this week (BP, Allies, Max Stamina, XP Gain, Stamina Gain, AH Slots, etc)
- 5% Chance of using 0 stamina while killing creatures.
- 50% discount on Bounty Tickets.
- 50% discount to join Arena.
- 50% discount on Recipes bought on realm shops.
- 10% Chance of using 50% of stamina while buffing (On you, casted and Buff Market).
- 5% chance of use 50% stamina while attacking a player (BB, GvG, PvP and Ladder).
- Small Potion for doing a small quest.
- 10 Ladder Tokens or 20 Arena Tokens for doing a small quest.
- 25% Chance of using 0 stamina while killing a Titan.

Well, just some initial ideas to work with in the future, if the idea goes on.

[Pardoux]

If you're going to have random events (which are a great idea btw), then please MAKE them random ?

 

As in - NO NOTICE given, they just appear, run and expire.

 

('cos if you even hint at giving any warning of 'em, then as you full well know, folk will demand longer and longer advance notice of 'em ... )

Not random as in you guys pressing a button either

I just finished saying how HCS should do their own thing, hoof said things are fine and he likes input so...

 

I made an fsbox post which got a few comments so ill put a poll here just for fun

 

Thought is every week on a day our stam gain is doubled for 24 hours, a lil spice, a little more reason to be active one day, a little something

None of the above.. It is a great idea but I was thinking of another idea, if double stamina would activate only if a player depletes his/her stam or reach below 100 after that a 5 days cd is applied, also if HCS is feeling generous for new players only 3 days cd is applied for the first 3-4 months of that player.

 

 

They wouldn't be 'quests' in the normal sense, but more along the lines of johnagod's suggestion - so for example "Slay 100 Undead creatures", "Defeat 5 Elites" etc.

I suggest a weekly quest about turning 6 common items, 3 rare items & 1 unique based on the players level, if a level 2600 player start he is ask to turn items ranging level 1 - 2600, as for 500 it is 1 - 500. Imagine that junks can actually be a treasure. If players will actually hunt item themselves its fine but for those who will just buy from AH, I think it will have a good effect on trading/economy.

 

Or once you've turned in the items a double stam gain buff is applied for 24hrs.

 

Just a thought on both replies.

Just want to say I suddenly realized I might run out of "likes" on this post, lmao. So....

Don't like absolutely all the ideas, but love the brainstorming.

Full on agree Pardoux. The "feeling" I got is that this would run like the current Flash Sales which, according to BG, are: Surprise and no announcements on home page. I frigging love the idea, hehe.

 

Stern wink at HCS: In line with Pardoux's post, no spilling the secret.... pretty please. (o0

[Aceshunter]

Aye - it could be totally random things too - like 5% chance not to use stamina when moving, +x% gold from creatures - all mini events that last 24 hours that we run randomly

 

I like the sound of this Hoofmaster :-)
